Debate
Holocaust Memorial BillContribution
The 1900 Act gave restrictions that are now to be removed. Clause 1 does not say that there should be permission to construct on the land a structure that is set out in, for example, a Schedule 1 to the Bill, which could have included a plan for this specific proposal if that had been in the Government’s mind at the time; I assume it was. So Parliament is left with the indefinite article: “a memorial” and “a centre”, not in any way describing what that centre should be.
